Emotional

Sometimes I'm so overwhelmed with emotion that I don't know whether to fight or flee. I want to stand my ground and defend my opinion to the max. But I also want to give up because it seems like nothing I say will really matter or get through to people. I'm still learning. Still learning to remain calm and listen to everyone with their different opinions. I'm so passionate. I feel like as a mother I have learned SO much. My whole life did a 180 when I had my first son. My life began. I now know what I want to do with my life and definitely feel I have a purpose... even beyond my role as a mother. I want to change the world. And its so defeating that I know I won't. It makes me want to give up. It also makes me want to go back to a simpler time. I often "joke" with my boyfriend about moving to a cabin in the woods and living like hippies. Growing our own food, and teaching our children to enjoy the earth.
